Re: Alsa 1.0.18 Installation Script

Hello Soundcheck,

I have tried everything possible from upgrading my ram, to reinstalling UBUNTU, to unistalling pulse, to using this forum to help but nothing helped yet. The problemw with sound still exists. Any help will be really great.

Some information from running the script and some basic information available here:

Re: Alsa 1.0.18 Installation Script

First off I would like to thank soundcheck for this great script.
I was initially having trouble setting all this up the way they explained it on www.alsa-project.org (for my razer ac-1). Alsa-utils-1.0.18 would always fail on compile. The only difference was they said to use arguments for the compile of alsa-driver.

So everything installed awesome on a fresh Ubuntu Intrepid. The only problem I am having is I have no sound coming out of my center speaker (5.1 setup) in any program I try (be it VLC or Amarok).

Is there possibly something I am missing? I am new to sound in Linux as I have never really used one as a desktop before.

Re: Alsa 1.0.18 Installation Script

As a reply to Nikos:
I believe the -i didn't do anything because it was not first Downloaded ( -d ) and Compiled ( -c ).
The full install ( -f ) will do all these steps for you.

Thank you. I found the way to go... but I think for beginners it can be a bit confusing. I really appreciate the work that has been done. Nevertheless, the instructions (if somebody has the time) could use some nicer structuring/formatting. Not too much but some bullets, some bolded fonts, etc. would make it more attractive .

Cheers, Nikos

P.S. The script was installed successfully but it doesn't activate the built-in speakers on a MBP5,1. I'll try again another time...

Re: Alsa 1.0.18 Installation Script

Thanks to this script, and Jan Saell's fine tutorial, I am now having awesome sound on my Acer 8920!
All is good, but if anyone has tips on how to activate the extra speakers in this laptop, feel free to leave some tips!
